One Good Thing:

2026 CFHS Boys & Girls State

❤️🤍 CFHS BOYS STATE & GIRLS STATE 2026

We are proud to celebrate our Camden Fairview students selected to represent CFHS at Arkansas Boys State and Girls State this week!

These Cardinals were chosen because of their leadership and character, and we know they will represent Camden Fairview well.

  • Karmen Confron
  • Emma Goss
  • Jessica Jiang
  • Taliah Lacy-Rains
  • Lily Mayweather
  • Zachery Morehead
  • Dere'on Moore
  • Nevaeh Porchia
  • Aniya Robinson
  • Donta Thrower
  • Colt Woods

Boys State and Girls State are leadership and civics programs for students who have completed their junior year of high school. For decades, these programs have challenged students to grow as leaders, strengthen their understanding of government, and develop skills that will help them make a difference in their schools, communities, and beyond.

Throughout the week, students will participate in hands-on experiences that place them in mock city, county, and state governments where they will campaign, hold elections, make decisions, and learn firsthand how leadership and public service work.

Congratulations to our 2026 Boys State and Girls State delegates! We can’t wait to see the impact you make and the experiences you bring back to Camden Fairview.
